Rose Parade or "Gay Pride" Parade? (entry #82)
Washington Times ^ | Dec 31, 2013 | Jennifer Kerns

Posted on 01/01/2014 7:26:09 AM PST by Innovative

Organizers are allowing progressives to parade their political agendas around and morph a historic parade into an event more closely resembling a gay pride parade than the Rose Parade we have come to know.

This Wednesday on New Year’s Day, the Rose Parade will showcase a gay wedding being officiated LIVE atop a float shaped like a giant wedding cake. The float is sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

There is nothing unusual about gay activists wanting to promote their cause. What is unusual, however, is the fact that national TV networks during daytime family programming will allow a political agenda to be pushed and will showcase two men engaging in a romantic kiss.

I’m on the West Coast and am certainly not going to watch it. Has it aired in Eastern time zones? Did they have the gay marriage as planned?

Um, the Rose Parade is a California ‘institution’. California is nearly totally degenerate now, so there is no way any Californians would oppose this blatant degeneracy on parade. it’s Californicatia! Leftafornia!

I think it started at 8 am Pacific and is broadcast live in all time zones.

Better yet, do not watch the parade or the Rose Bowl. The media will just jumble the numbers together and make it appear like all who watched the game approved of the prior parade.

We live in a politically correct world now. People are afraid of taking on these homosexual and liberal groups. Afraid of lawsuits and afraid of perceived bad publicity if they ban homosexual groups.

The Duck Dynasty case was a rare case of someone not giving in to the demands of these pressure groups. These pressure groups are used to getting their way, hand in hand with a compliant media to spread their messages.

“Problem is that all the TV media will repeat and repeat and repeat that float all day and into next week, ad nauseam.”

I am afraid you are right — they want to make sure nobody will miss it unless you don’t watch the news either for the next week or so...

The important time to turn it off is when the parade comes on. No reason to watch any of it in my opinion...

Unless it’ll be on BBC I won’t see it.

our TV has not gone on today. THis parade is about 5 minutes from our front door and it breaks our hearts that this garbage has been allowed.
We are going about our usual daily business, cleaning, working about the house. No THANKS to the Rose Parade this year....

5 minutes from our front door

Even when we lived way over in Monrovia, we'd be careful where we strayed on and around New Years...one Eve, we got stuck after dinner at The Derby Restaurant in Arcadia due to floats being moved.

I am watching on RFD-TV and really hope they know their viewing audience enough to not air that float at all. They can go to commercial.

I used to watch on HGTV because they don’t have commercials but I know they will fawn all over the float just because of how many gay couples have been on House Hunters the last few years.

A handful of companies build most of the Rose Parade floats. You can bet they are shot through with poof employees.

These are people doing something wrong. The reason why they want a float in this parade is to create the allusion that what they are doing is normal. Only a fool would even listen to that argument.
I think this year and every year hence I will watch the Mummer’s Parade in Philadelphia until the homosexuals invade that parade as well. You can bet they are going to try.

The Mummer’s Parade! Is that still on TV? Went to it many times when I was a kid. Always had a blast. Good memories!

No, I’m going to watch, so I know what is presented by ABC, HGTV, and KTLA so I can respond to the Tournament of Roses, the City of Pasadena, parade sponsors, and the media.

Sad...the Sea World float went by surrounded by police officers & sheriff’s deputies. Obviously to protect it from attack from left wing kooks such as PETA, ALF, ELF, etc.

Did you catch where the Mummer’s Parade is including groups of transvestites? First time in decades.
